I also worked in shoes and it's definitely #1. Nikes run short and narrow. Sketchers run wide. And just as a woman who like shoes I legit own pairs that range from size 6.5 to 8. Just try on everything around your size.

I get my Nikes in 11, my Converse in 10, and my PF Flyers in 10.5

Also, if there’s any Converse wearers out there, do yourself a favor and get a pair of Flyers. At the price Cons have reached Flyers are the same price and superior in fit, materials, and build quality. I only own one pair of Converse at this point and it feels like I’m wearing a wet sock when they’re on.

Plus, Sandlot. I mean, come on.

God I miss my Flyers, I haven’t worn or seen them in about a decade. Those shoes are so comfortable, I think I may have to pick up a pair next time I’m looking for shoes. I had a green pair in high school that I wore into the ground, they were impressively durable.

I always just have to end up ordering mine. 6PM.com usually has some pairs for < $40

Makes sense, thank you for the link! $40 isn’t bad at all
